Note: If you have left a trackable in the geocache, specify this with the additional track number so that the
cache owner and the other cachers are informed. If you take a trackable away with you, this should be logged.
To do this, specify the code on the trackable and log the fact that it has been taken away.
Requirement: You require an existing profile at www.geocaching.com.
11.1.6 Pocket query
Geocaching.com offers the possibility of creating pocket queries. A pocket query is a compiled file which
consists of several filtered geocaches. On Geocaching.com you can compile these pocket queries yourself via
filters, download them and transfer them to the device via the Activity Manager.
Note: Your navigation device supports a pocket query with no more than 900 geocaches
11.1.7 Found geocaches
Geocaches which you have already marked as found are stored under Found geocaches. Here you can find,
view and edit all caches which have already been found.
11.1.8 Terminology and symbols
Geocaching - Is a kind of electronic treasure hunt or scavenger hunt in which you can find small caches of
treasure using published coordinates and waypoints.
Geocache - Is a small, usually waterproof container in which you will find objects to swap or a logbook. It is the
ultimate target of the treasure hunt.
Log - By logging you can document the success or failure of your treasure hunt online. This allows other people
and primarily the geocache owner to follow and track what is happening around the cache.
Trackable - The best-known trackables include the Travel Bugs. These are transported from one cache to the
next and their journey is documented on a special website. In addition, they have a unique numerical
combination for identification.
Geocoins - Geocoins perform the same role as Travel Bugs. They are tracked online and can travel around the
world. Geocoins are often individually designed by geocachers and are also used as collectors' items.
Traditional Cache - Is a cache, consisting of a geocache and a logbook. Large cache containers
normally contain trackables. Smaller cache containers usually only contain a logbook for you to make
an entry in. You can find the exact location of the geocache by means of the coordinates for the cache.
Multicache - Contains several (multi)-positions. The geocache is situated at the final position. There
are lots of different versions of multicaches, but usually the first cache position contains a clue as to
the second position and the second position contains clues about the third, etc.
Mystery Cache - Is a puzzle which needs to be solved in order to decipher the coordinates. This cache
does not fit into other cache categories and is usually a new and unique geocaching experience.
Letterbox Cache - Is another form of the treasure hunt in which clues are used instead of
coordinates. In some cases, the letterbox owners link the geocache to clues and to coordinates which
are published on Geocaching.com.
The stamp in the letterbox is not used as a trackable. Visitors can use this stamp to record their find.
Event Cache - Is a cache where several geocachers or geocaching organisations meet. On Event
Cache sites, a time and coordinates where the event will be taking place are published. The cache is
archived after this event.
Megaevent Cache - Is an event cache in which over 500 people from all different places participate.
Megaevents offer geocachers one or more days on which they can plan activities
